Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Wrap Assembly and Cooking
- 4 medium flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: If your chicken isn’t cooked yet, season it lightly with salt and black pepper, then cook it by baking, sautéing, or grilling until fully done. Once cooked, dice the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic and Chicken: In a pan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden and fragrant. Then, add the diced chicken, tossing it well to coat with the garlic oil and infuse the chicken with flavor. Remove from heat shortly after.
- Add the Cheese: While the chicken mixture is still hot, stir in the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese. This will allow the cheese to start melting and combine smoothly with the chicken.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture into the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides and tightly roll it up like a burrito to secure the filling inside.
- Pan-Fry the Wraps: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the assembled wraps seam-side down in the skillet and press gently. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to avoid spilling the filling.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the cooked wraps from the skillet and let them rest for 1 to 2 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped parsley on top. Serve warm and enjoy the ooey-gooey cheesy goodness!
Notes
- You can substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free option.
- The chicken can be pre-cooked using your preferred method (baked, grilled, or sautéed).
- Adjust the amount of garlic according to your taste preference.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika or chili flakes when sautéing the chicken.
- Serve with a fresh salad or your choice of dipping sauce for a complete meal.
